Neighborhood Parks Projects

January 14, 2019

Progress in Parks! As part of plans to make improvements to 10 neighborhood parks, the Liberty City Council approved a contract for two new playgrounds for the Westboro / Canterbury Greenway.

One of the new playgrounds is geared for younger kids, ages 2-5; the other for kids 6+. Installation is expected late spring / early summer.

With input from park visitors through neighborhood park meetings and online surveys last year, it was clear that new playground equipment was sorely needed to replace aging pieces that had been installed in the mid '90s.

Thanks to the purchase of a new compact track loader and rotary mower, Parks & Rec crews have begun addressing a common request heard at the neighborhood park meetings earlier this year regarding clearing of overgrown brush. Crews were tested the new equipment at Northwyck Park in early December. This piece of equipment will make managing overgrown areas of invasive plants a breeze and will provide more open space and visibility at the parks.

With input from Liberty residents through neighborhood park meetings and online surveys, the Parks & Rec Board's recommendations for improvements to the 10 neighborhood parks were presented to the City Council. With general agreement from the Council, Parks & Rec staff will begin the procurement process!

May 2018

To gain community input on improvements to the neighborhood parks, the Liberty Parks & Rec Department will be hosting meetings at each of the included parks. The first meetings will focus on parks in Ward 4.
